This short, easy-to-understand book helps seniors work through mental and emotional barriers to embracing a tech-rich life, and presents basic information about useful tech devices that match their needs and interests. ----------- Are you hesitant to use a smartphone, computer, tablet, or ebook reader even though you see other seniors enjoying them? Do you feel confused about tech devices and unsure of how they might benefit you? Do you feel overwhelmed when you think about purchasing a device and learning how to use it? Is this what you've been telling yourself? "I'm too old." "I can't do it." "It's too difficult." "I don't like it. I don't want it. It's just not for me." "I'm a klutz--I'd break it." "I'm embarrassed to ask younger people for help." "I can't type." "I'm afraid." "I can't afford it." "I feel overwhelmed. I don't know where to start." As a senior and a technology enthusiast with a background in education, I've found a way to help other seniors defeat the self-talk barriers, discover new ways of connecting with people and information, and experience for themselves how technology can enrich their lives. Become a Tech-Active Senior is a short, easy-to-understand book that will: * Show you how to defeat the mental and emotional barriers caused by negative self-talk * Give you basic information about smartphones, computers, tablets, and e-readers while discussing their benefits * Offer resources you need in order to purchase a tech device and learn how to use it. Follow the advice in this book and you'll soon move from tech-timid, to tech-curious, to tech-smart. What's stopping you from experiencing a rewarding, tech-active life?

The challenge of population aging requires innovative approaches to meet the needs of increasing numbers of older people. Emerging information and communication technologies (ICTs), such as pervasive computing and ambient assistive technology, have considerable potential for enhancing the quality of life of many older people by providing additional safety and security while also supporting mobility, independent living, and social participation. The proposed book will be a landmark publication in the area of technology and aging that will serve as a statement of the current state-of-the-art and as a pointer to directions for future research and emerging technologies, products, and services.

This book provides the latest research and design-based recommendations for how to design and implement a technology training program for older adults in Continuing Care Retirement Communities (CCRCs). The approach in the book concentrates on providing useful best practices for CCRC owners, CEOs, activity directors, as well as practitioners and system designers working with older adults to enhance their quality of life. Educators studying older adults will also find this book useful Although the guidelines are couched in the context of CCRCs, the book will have broader-based implications for training older adults on how to use computers, tablets, and other technologies.

Older people in the United States are living longer, staying healthier, and leaving the labor force earlier than ever before. They have leisure time and are willing, able, and qualified to be productive members of society. This book focuses on the contributions that many older people can and do make and the policy changes that are necessary to harness this productive capacity--for the good of the country and for the good of the individuals involved. The contributors to this book--experts in economics, sociology, political science, social welfare, and policy studies--have drawn on new data from a survey of 2,999 Americans aged 55 and older conducted by Louis Harris Associates for The Commonwealth Fund. One chapter also analyzes results from a cross-national survey of 900 people aged 65 and older in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, West Germany, and Japan. According to the findings, three out of four older Americans are actively engaged in working for pay, volunteering for organizations, caring for sick or disabled relatives or friends, or helping their children or grandchildren. Many are involved in several of these activities. The book thus corrects the stereotypes of seniors as affluent retirees or frail dependents, providing a more accurate description of older people's interests and activities. It also assesses the economic value of their productivity and recommends ways to facilitate their involvement in the work force. Copublished with The Commonwealth Fund
